The Inspiration Behind our Cabana

Posted on August 06, 2016

Be the first

Our Cabana Towel, is the epitome of Dock & Bay, our signature product - the one where it all began. It’s simplistic yet stylish nature and timeless design is what we believe makes it great. You never forget your first.

Our original prototype was born when Andy & Ben (a few drinks down) pulled down a huge red curtain and stuck white paper to it to work out the perfect number of stripes. This was to become the ‘Cabana’ towel and the one they will always be very proud of. As their hangovers disappeared, their passion to change the game of towels lived on. A weird life choice, but they seem to be enjoying it.

An entrepreneurial moment

The inspiration? The classical deck chairs famously found on Brighton’s pebble beach in England. With Dock & Bay born by a Brit and an Aussie, both living in London at the time – Brighton had always been the perfect weekend getaway to escape the hustle and bustle of the big smoke and experience a truly traditional seaside setting.

Pair this design with 7 vibrant colours to brighten up any beach and there you have it – THE CABANA. We were the first in the world to take quick drying microfibre material and put stunning designs on top of it. Simple yet effective, allowing us to create high end & convenient products. Every single towel comes in a little carry bag for all your beach goodies - the perfect seaside companion. Just don’t get too attached.
